Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Wow. You have ovaries of steel. I'd wear flip-flops and use a sketchy shower over an ice cold one anyday. I'll JUMP into cold water and get out immediately, but an ice-cold shower fills me with fear and loathing.

They always test my glucose, too, and that's always fine. So I've got that going for me.

Mine has been fine 99% of the time, but they also check my glucose because of my family history.

Anyhoodle, I'm just mentally preparing for all the fist-shaking I'll be doing at the universe when I go in for a physical and my numbers still aren't great despite massive lifestyle changes because genetics.

but an ice-cold shower fills me with fear and loathing.

When I ran the hot water tap in the bathroom sink, it went from ice cold to...room temperature, if the room hasn't had the furnace turned on yet. So, basically, a touch "warmer" than cold.

I am kind of pissed that all the oatmeal, fruit/veg, coconut oil, and exercise had very little effect. I mean, I could have been eating Frankenberry for breakfast and loafing around instead of going to the gym like a chump.

But if you'd been doing that, your cholesterol could have gone super high!

Oooh, fair point. (Besides, the Frankenberry doesn't taste as good as I remember it tasting when I was a kid.)

Okay, I'm about to brave the shower. Maybe I'll pretend it's summer camp (which never, EVER had hot water for the showers).

Rationally I know I'm way healthier now than I was 5 years ago, but the part of me that just wants to eat bacon and fries and pizza and be lazy doesn't need any ammunition.

Shower update: son of a bitch, that was brisk! I remember fashion magazines saying you should rinse your hair with cold water after washing it, because it makes it shiny. My hair should be shiny enough to reflect light now.
